Professional French Drain Repair Services

A French drain is designed to redirect groundwater and stormwater away from vulnerable areas such as retaining walls, basements, and foundations. When a system becomes blocked, collapsed, or improperly installed, it can lead to rising damp, mould, and costly damage. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the issue and carry out precise repairs to restore full function.

Our team provides comprehensive French drain repair solutions using advanced equipment and in-house expertise. Services include:

  • CCTV inspections to identify blockages, cracks, or collapsed sections
  • High-pressure jetting to clear debris, silt, or root intrusion
  • Relining or replacement of damaged drain sections
  • Re-grading and reinstallation where drains were incorrectly installed
  • Integration with stormwater systems for improved performance

We ensure every repair complies with Queensland standards and is designed for long-term efficiency.

In a jam with a blocked drain (no toilets, showers, dish washers, sinks etc. - definitely first world problems I know but really inconvenient) . Anyway - 25 calls to plumbers later (sorry we can't get...
A blocked toilet was not the best way to start the long weekend. Greg came to our rescue in under an hour. What a relief.

Signs You Need French Drain Repairs

If your French drain is no longer performing properly, you may notice:

 

  • Pooling water around retaining walls, lawns, or foundations
  • Damp patches inside basements or subfloors
  • Overflow or backflow during heavy rain
  • Visible erosion or subsidence near the drain area
  • Mould or mildew forming inside your property

If left untreated, these issues can escalate into costly structural damage, which is why timely French drain repair is essential.
